But do the schools have a Curacao Culture day where you get to see the ladies work it and move it to a throbbing island beat?
Very funny, smart guy.

That's how they elect the Borough President.

Million Dollar Homes is also another category Brooklyn does not win vs San Francisco, despite being 3 times larger.

Housing Units Valued at $1 Million+
San Francisco, CA 33,338
Brooklyn, NY 26,218

Actually, Brooklyn has less million dollar homes than the Bay Area's 5 largest counties despite being far larger in population than all of them.

Anyway,

Red Hook $1,738,256
Manhattan Beach $1,310,702
Boreum Hill $1,288,909
Vinegar Hill $1,227,711
Brooklyn Heights $1,200,468
Mill Basin $1,163,179
Mapleton $1,043,511

San Francisco Neighborhoods

Umm, yeah except at the hangouts you're thinking of, the rappers you are chillin' with are not world-famous. As is other cities can lay a claim on hip-hop the way Brooklyn can. That's a joke.

Because only Brooklyn has produced world-famous rappers, and they never travel anywhere.

Still fighting for that Apple Store (this article never tires me, sorry )

Marty Markowitz wants to know why Apple won’t open a store in Brooklyn - NYPOST.com

He doesn't understand why Apple won't come to Brooklyn. I'll give him a little hint:

Manhattan.

San Francisco has virtually no black people. So you're not gonna find this over there. Less affluent blacks are leaving the city and more affluent blacks (particularly younger blacks) aren't moving there. New York, DC and Atlanta are by far the clear winners in that department. San Francisco is a great place to live if you meet one or more of the following criteria:

Gay (not if you're black and gay, though http://www.rosenblog.com/2005/06/27/...francisco.html)
White
Asian
Wealthy

Rap accounts for 10% of all album sales. If you wanna talk music in general, especially in the rock era, San Francisco mauls Brooklyn.

So San Francisco is a better place to be than Brooklyn if you're an affluent Asian person. I can also gather you've never been to Broadway in Oakland on any night of the week, especially not Friday or Saturday. Bring a camera

Hey, this is a pretty wicked beat, man...


Crocodile On Drugs - YouTube

IDK about you but I can imagine the mujeres moving to that with a rotating cast of some of our posters MC'ing.
